What force is responsible for the moon orbiting earth and earth orbiting the sun?
The force of gravity.
What force is responsible for the moon orbiting around the earth and earth orbiting around the sun?
The force of gravity causes the moon to orbit the Earth, and the Earth to orbit the sun.
What is the force for the moon orbiting the earth?
Gravity
What force is made when the moon is orbiting the Earth?
Methane
What does force have to do with the moon orbiting the earth?
Force? As in The Force from Star Wars? Or a gravitation force? Care to explain?
What does centipetal force describe and detail?
it is when earth stops orbiting
What force keeps the moon in orbit around the sun?
The force of gravity that they exert on each other, and the velocities of the Moon and Earth which is their "inertia".
What keeps the moon orbiting around the earth?
Orbits are established by the combined effects of gravitational attraction and relative velocity. In other words, the moon, like any orbiting body, moves forward (tangent to its orbit) at a speed just sufficient to ensure that as it falls toward the earth due to gravity, it has moved far enough that the two motions combine to keep it at a roughly stable distance from the earth.
Is an orbiting astronaut subject to zero gravitational force?
The fact that he is orbiting means he is being held by the gravitational force of the Earth. If not for that, he would be headed out of the solar system.
What does centrifugal force do to the earth as it rotates?
it makes us roatate around in circular motions
Which type of force is responsible for keeping the moon in the orbit around earth?
Gravitational Force is responsible for keeping the moon in the orbit around Earth.
What force keeps a moon from orbiting a planet?
The Moon is orbiting a planet; It is orbiting the Earth. The velocity /acceleration of the Moon and the gravitational pull between Earth and Moon are in balance, so the Moon remains orbiting the Earth. Similarly the Earth and Moon , as a binary system, orbit the Sun , and the acceleration and gravitational forces are in balance. So none of us collide.
